I'm getting some much needed rain. It has rained nearly three inches since early AM. The lightening storm that was on the leading edge of the storm knocked out my ups and my station went offline after logging only .01". My buddy near here logged almost 2.5" while my station was off. I have almost a half inch since bringing my station back online and it's raining now and there is plenty more headed this way. We are desperate for rain so it's a great thing. It is too late to elongate my mowing season but it will do wonders for the ponds and lakes in the area. They are all extremely low and we've been on water rationing for lawns for a couple of months.
I ended up logging 1.48" of rain today. The best that I can figure, I missed logging a bit over an inch and a quarter this morning. I'm super happy to see almost three inches to my area and it rained more North of here. Another major system is bearing down on my area as I type and I anticipate more rain within an hour. Rain is in the forecast for tomorrow and Monday. We will probably go from draught to flooding in the next couple of days. Gotta love Kansas.
It did rain again early morning and off and on today. I logged another .62" today. Rain is forecasted for early morning and all day Monday. It is then supposed to clear and no rain until next weekend. I'd say that we've received enough rain but we haven't. It would be nice to spread the rains out a bit to avoid any flooding.
It's still boggy here. Though there has been no major rains today. .22" has fallen at my station. The streets are wet and look like it just rained. It's now 64.4°F and has been in the low to mid sixties since this system moved in. Zero wind which would make for some fun bike time if it wasn't so wet out.
Colder and wet! It hasn't rained today but it is overcast and the humidity is at 84%. The wind is out of the North with gusts in the 20mph range with the temp in the high forties. It's not going to dry out much today without some sunshine.
